No you are not weird. This is the way it is supposed to work:
- Yes, you have check-out an entire module
- The CMakeFiles must work or that part is disabled.
- Missing requirements should only disable the app
- You build and install only what you need

The weak point is that CMakeFiles are sometimes also under development and 
some modules fails to cmake, in those cases you need to disable it yourself, 
with is a pity. I didn't think that was the case here, because my test worked.
